Vaccinations and heart issues

[pbrsg450]

Has anyone ever heard of a link between military vaccinations and heart problems (i.e. murmurs, faulty valves, aortic aneurisms, etc) later on in life?

There were recent news reports of the covid vaccines causing myocarditis in some younger service members. Previously, I recall reports of anthrax and smallpox vaccines causing heart issues.

Well hot damn.  I got a prolapsing heart valve.  From what I've been told, it's a fairly common issue.  I can't see how one would link it back to vaccinations.  Pretty sure mine is hereditary and I drink like a fish.  So it could be that.  I do run 3.5 miles per week.  Not fast, but I just did a best of 8:45 per mile this week.  A little of my best in the military of 6:25 per mile.

@El TrainSame here. Just feels like someone is poking a tiny needle into my left ribcage from time to time. The docs would see it on EKGs and during heart echo tests.

A lot of the vaccine related heart issues are myocarditis which is inflammation around the heart, which often gets better for some with treatment. Of course, one would still need a doc to tie it all together.

I really miss running but it just hurts my back too much. I did a 5:59 once and only once -- feels like ancient history now.
